Yeah I'm going. My first Cavs game.

You better find a way to meet up with the boys. I need a full and detailed report from and about you.

Probably won't happen. We'll be lucky to make it up by Tip off the way my buddy drives (like he's 80 and Chinese) and we're zipping back here as soon as that horn blows cuz my boy has to work early tuesday. As for a report from me, AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA! I'll be too drunk to remember who won.

I don't even know where we're sitting, I hear there are some shitty sight lines in the Q.

Well, Doc Rivers just said, "It's on!"On the news, he basically called out his own players: "Their guys are shooting lay-ups and nothing happens. Our guys are shooting lay-ups, and they're on the floor."

Gonna get crazy now. Old-days Lakers v Celtics ugly when there were NO lay-ups.Will be interesting how these games are officiated now.

However, Doc needs to know that his team was in serious foul trouble as it was. His foul trouble (and lack of depth) will be magnified if his troops carry out his command to throw dudes to the floor on every drive.

Interesting also that Doc takes this stance now. When Big Baby picked up his third when he fouled LBJ going to the hoop in the second quarter, Doc seemed to question BB fouling LBJ on the play as he went to the bench. If indeed there are no layups, Doc should have been commending BB on the foul.

Most of my peeps have been screaming for the end of Sheed for months.

My favorite Sheed 2010 playoff moment thus far was when Pierce hit the series clincher and all the Celts are basically going apeshit, except for Sheed. He barely summoned enough energy to amble over and gently tap Pierce on the head before slowly trudging to the lockerroom.

Going to watch that video 15x today. 8 can't get here fast enough....I just wish that someone could have mentioned whether or not Mo Williams has any regard for human life.

Watching the game I didn't realize he had dunked it. I thought Pierce got a hand on it. Love the extra hops and stare down of Pierce.

Tonight this team HAS to rebound the ball better. They were so awful Saturday night that my wife was screaming, "Get the damn ball!".

I don't expect Jamison to be held to just 7 points. Ey0 said in another thread that Garnett is bad match up for Jamison and he's right. Cleveland needs to use that pick and roll w/ James to get Antawn some easy buckets. Force the Celtics to adjust to that defensively.

Does Parker start out on Rondo or will Brown start Mo guarding him hoping that Mo can somehow slow him down some? Does JJ replace AV as the first big off the bench tonight to give the Cavs a little different look?

Is LBJ gonna see what he did in game 1 and continue to take the ball to the hoop and dare the Celtics to stop him? Maybe he can do this to start the game out and get Boston on their heels.

With that said, can't wait til 8.

Galley Boys are slop on top of a so-so burger and a bun you coulde get from a Covneninet food mart generic pack. They the Antoine Joubert of burgers; soft, sloppy, oozing grease and cheap sauce and extremely overrated by a biased fan base. Proof that if you throw enough cheap sauce shit on a burger you still can't overcome the lame burger. -JB

Look at him in an isolation set. It's not that he's waiting for his own defender to over-commit to a certain side, or to LeBron's potential shot or drive. He's waiting for and watching his second defender, waiting for him to over-commit, or to think shot or drive-first. At the same time. And then he makes his split decision and moves.

Think about what this guy has to be aware of, and then for him still to get to the rim, or an open perimeter look. It's just ridiculous that he's not really waiting for Paul Pierce to make a bad move defensively; it's that he's waiting for Tony Allen or Kevin Garnett to make a bad move. And they're guarding someone else!

Combined with Peeker's correct slamming of KG and his not wanting any part of LeBron, and it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for LBJ to average 40 ppg if this series gets extended to 6 or 7.

A Mo-dunk is too unexpected to formulate a great reaction like "with no regard for human life." With LeBron, you can anticipate such things. With Mo, I suppose it's just good he avoided "Holy $#%$! Did Mo $%@$ing Williams just &*#$ing throw it down over Paul Pierce?"

either tnt's microphones are very bad at picking up peripheral sound, or the crowd at the "q" is rather dead tonite. my gawd, when they had the mvp ceremony, they seemed about as excited as a bunch of cpa's at a tax seminar. and it really hasn't gotten any better since the game started either.

Rondo is a beast, I hate the guy for hitting those shots against us, but what I wouldn't give for him to be a PG for us.

My least-hated celtic.

Reggie miller is terrible, pretty bad he makes me yearn for JVG going off topic like he's hosting a sports talk show during a game.
